Shi Yitong was really nervous, he fell asleep on the bed within two minutes, snoring loudly. And I was already preoccupied, and with Shi Yitong's snoring, I didn't feel sleepy at all.
I tortured my pillow over and over again, and finally gave up altogether, and took out my phone from under the pillow.
Not a single push message on the phone screen, and of course, no missed calls or text messages.
It's been a whole day since I came to Diecui Mountain, and Wen Jiubai didn't call me or send me a text message.
Before I left, he didn't even ask me where I was going, or did he already know where I was going through his magical contacts
Otherwise, he didn't care about my whereabouts at all.
I laughed at myself. That's right, that guy Wen Jiubai has always been like this. No matter who he is, he is always pointing fingers, whenever it is useful to him, he will greet him with a smile, but for those who are not useful to him, he will ignore life and death with a cold face.
Thinking about it carefully, the name Gu Yu might just be a card in Wen Jiubai's hand. Type it out when it's useful, and tear it up when it's useless.
I stared at the quiet mobile phone screen, knowing that I was thinking wildly, but I still couldn't restrain my thoughts. The possibilities that kept popping up in my mind pierced my heart like a sharp silver needle.
During the day with friends, but also be driven to laugh. However, once night fell, the figure of that man would always linger in his mind for no reason.
The way he looks serious; the way he smiles; the way he squints his eyes and shows a sly expression;
And those may all be false.
There was a sudden warmth on my cheeks, I was taken aback, and wiped the corners of my eyes with the back of my hand, it was wet.
Just when I was stunned and at a loss, the cell phone that had been silent all of a sudden rang. Even amidst Shi Yitong's loud snoring, the ringtone was still very harsh.
The caller ID read: Wen Jiubai.
etc? ? Wen Jiubai? He, why did he call all of a sudden? And he didn't call for a whole day, but why did he call in the middle of the night
There is something wrong with this person!
I quickly picked up the phone and held it in my hand, but I was at a loss and didn't know whether to answer or hang up.
The phone was vibrating non-stop in my hand, however, the moment my fingers stretched out to the screen, it suddenly became quiet.
After about three rings, the other party hung up.
Wen Jiubai! You are playing tricks, aren't you!
At that moment, I didn't know where the courage came from, so I dialed directly without thinking about it. This time, the phone was answered quickly, but neither I nor the other side spoke.
It's over. My mind suddenly went blank.
What should I say? Should I say hello? Why did he pick it up so quickly? What should I do
I don't know how long there was silence, but just when I couldn't bear to hang up the phone, Wen Jiubai finally spoke.
"Gu Yu."
Just such a very light name, Wen Jiubai said it almost out of breath, which made my frantically beating heart sink into my chest, and I found my voice all at once.
"Well, I'm here." I gripped the phone tightly and said in a low voice.
"It's so late and you still haven't slept?" Wen Jiubai asked with a chuckle.
"You are not the same." I muttered.
"I'm not the same as you." Wen Jiubai chuckled, "It's not good for you to always sleep so late at such a young age."
... Wait, then you still have this time to call me
After hearing Wen Jiubai's words, I inexplicably felt disgusted from my heart.
"So you called me so late just to tease me?" I said in a bad tone, "If that's the case, you should go to bed early."
However, Wen Jiubai said before I hung up the phone, "Gu Yu, I'm sorry."
As soon as the word "sorry" came out, I immediately let down like a leaky ball. This sentence of sorry suddenly made it seem like I was the one who made trouble without reason, and Wen Jiubai took over all the grandeur.
"Are you crying?"
As soon as the voice came from over there, I realized that I was involuntarily crying again. I hurriedly wiped the back of my hand, gritted my teeth and asked angrily, "Why?"
Wen Jiubai was silent.
"Why didn't you ask me where I was going? Why didn't you call me? Why didn't you even question me from the beginning to the end?" My voice became higher and higher, "Are you not curious at all? Do you have no doubts? Or Said that you don't want to know where I went and why I went out? You don't care at all, do you?"
Wen Jiubai remained silent, this silence was driving me crazy. Just when I was about to say something more outrageous, Wen Jiubai spoke suddenly.
"No, neither," he whispered.
"What is that!" I was already irritated by Wen Jiubai's attitude. Now that I think about it, if Shi Yitong hadn't been sleeping soundly on the side, maybe I would have woken him up right then.
"Because of what, don't you know?" Although Wen Jiubai's tone was still calm, I could hear that he was deliberately suppressing the anger in his chest, "Because you didn't want to tell me."
I froze, speechless for a moment.
"You don't want to come to the old house, you don't want to talk to me, and you don't want to tell me where you're going. My observation skills are no worse than yours, so I can tell." Wen Jiubai said with a suppressed voice, "It's been several God, you deliberately avoid me, avoid me, try not to talk to me, don't meet me. You said you were going out out of the blue, and you didn't mean to say hello to me at all. You think I have to keep a shy face Ask me where you are going and what are you going to do?"
This time I was completely stunned.
It seemed to be the first time, the first time I saw Wen Jiubai lose his temper like a normal person in the true sense, but it was because of such a trivial matter.
Like a normal person... complain to me because of a misunderstanding.
Does Wen Jiubai think about this kind of thing like me? Would he think that I went out with my friends to escape because I didn't want to talk to him
"I..." I opened my mouth and stammered, "I never thought about it that way..."
"You don't have any intention of explaining to me, so you expect me to give you an explanation?" Wen Jiubai said with anger, "Why, are you a three-year-old child? I'm used to everything being done by my mother Explain to you? Why don't you think about what you have done!"
"I don't think so!" I retorted eagerly, "I just... I just..."
"Just what?" Wen Jiubai's voice was calm.
"I just..." I bit the bullet and told the truth, "I just haven't been able to fully trust you yet."
For a while, a long silence spread between Wen Jiubai and me.
"Then, let me guess." Wen Jiubai said slowly, "You didn't go out for an outing, but to find a way to find out my identity, right?"
"Hmm." I said bravely.
"The reason why you have been avoiding me and not going to the old house is because you have always had a grudge against me not telling you who you are, right?"
"... um." I answered again, biting the bullet.
"Oh—I didn't expect that Gu Xiaoyu was such a thoughtful child." There was a muffled laugh from the other end of the phone.
Wait... Wen Jiubai seems to have suddenly put on the playful tone I am familiar with now
I can almost imagine the sly smile he had on the other end of the phone.
"So that's the case. Then can I ask, does Gu Xiaoyu have any idea about my identity?"
I nodded nervously. After clicking, I realized that I was on the phone, even if I nodded, he couldn't see it.
"Uh... um."
"What is it?"
Wen Jiubai has completely seized the initiative in this conversation, and I can only be led by the nose by him.
"Well—it's Bai Ze." I said nervously. And pricked up his ears trying to hear some clues from his reaction.
"So that's it." Wen Jiubai said seriously, "So in Gu Xiaoyu's mind, I'm such a powerful guy."
I couldn't help but ask, "Really?"
"Well—who knows." Wen Jiubai deliberately dragged his voice, "Maybe it is, or it may not be."
here we go again! How could this guy surnamed Wen be so cheap!
"But Gu Yu, if you want to check it, go check it out."
I was stunned for a moment when I heard this, I never thought that Wen Jiubai would say such a thing.
"What did you say?"
"I said, since you want to investigate, then go ahead and investigate boldly." Wen Jiubai said leisurely, without any sign of anger, "You are right. If you don't know me, there will naturally be a crisis of trust. Then since you want to know, let your friends investigate. I will definitely not stop you."
"Then why don't you tell me!" I blurted out.
Wen Jiubai was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I won't tell you, I have my own reasons." Finally he said, "Just like you have your own reasons for investigating. Gu Yu, I won't force you to trust me, but I want you to know. Whether you know my identity, my past and my story or not, I will never, never hurt you. In this world, your life is my only treasure, you just need to know this, enough."
My face became hot with a "shua". Why can this guy always say such boring words as if nothing had happened, and he still speaks in a serious way!
"I see! Don't say it!" I interrupted Wen Jiubai hastily, for fear that he would say anything strange again.
